I am sure it will reopen soon enough. When disturbed, shipped and such, it may take a while for zoanthiids to acclimate. Do you know if you have similar conditions in your tank compared to the tank they came from. Lighting, flow, chemistry...?

Like Gene said, I wouldn't worry about it too much yet. Sometimes it takes awhile for them to open up. Trust me, you'll know if they're dying. They'll start to look like they're dissolving.
